Researchers Identified a Mysterious Submerged Structure of 25 Meters That May Be a Pyramid Built More Than 10 Thousand Years Ago. The Discovery Raises Hypotheses About Ancient Civilizations That Are Still Little Known and Challenges the Traditional Chronology of History

A submerged stone structure in the Sea of Japan has reignited an old debate among researchers. Discovered in 1986, the so-called “Pyramid” of Yonaguni may be older than the pyramids of Egypt and even than Stonehenge, according to some scientists.

Structure Surprises With Shape and Estimated Age

Located 25 meters deep, near the Ryukyu Islands, the formation known as the Monument of Yonaguni features steps and flat terraces, similar to those of a temple.

According to estimates, the structure would be over 10 thousand years old, which would place it before the advent of agriculture.

Recent Debate Reignites Controversy

On the podcast “Joe Rogan Experience”, the topic gained prominence again with opposing opinions. Archaeologist Flint Dibble stated that the structure does not appear to have a human origin. “I’ve seen many crazy natural things, and I don’t see anything here that reminds me of human architecture,” he said.

In response, writer Graham Hancock, known for his theories on lost ancient civilizations, disagreed. For him, the formation shows clear signs of design, such as steps, arches, and even a carved face.

Hancock compared Yonaguni to Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, another archaeological site that challenges the conventional chronology of human history. Göbekli Tepe is dated to 9500 B.C., being one of the oldest known structures made by humans.

Other Opinions Divide the Scientific Community

Japanese geologist Masaaki Kimura also believes that the formation was made by humans. He suggested that Yonaguni could be part of a lost continent called Lemuria. For Kimura, the construction would be between 2,000 and 3,000 years old, a time when sea levels were lower.

On the other hand, Professor Robert Schoch from Boston University sees the formation as a natural phenomenon. In a previous interview with National Geographic, he explained that sandstones often break into straight shapes, especially in regions with high tectonic activity.

“These very straight edges are a result of the classic stratigraphy of the sandstones,” he stated.

Nearly four decades after its discovery, the Monument of Yonaguni still raises questions. The formation remains submerged and is studied by different experts. And, for now, no one has reached a definitive conclusion about its origin.

Acho intrigante o professor Robert Schoch, da Universidade de Bosto, fala que isso foi feito pela natureza, está muito sincronizador, parecer que alguém usou uma ferramenta diferenciada.

Dez mil anos??… que é isso, rapaz, vai com calma. O modo de vida, ou melhor, o estilo de vida das pessoas teem nos mostrado que, se alguém veste uma camisa da Nike no Brasil, não demora nem um ano para outra pessoa vestir uma igual no Japão. Então, acho um equívoco dizer as piramides do Egito teem diferença de oito mil anos destas apresentadas na reportagem. Isto é impossivel.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
